Yucatan Is on the Top 13 Safest Places in Mexico List

Although Merida and Valladolid are not on this map, Merida is located about where the “Y” in “Yucatan” is and Valladolid is at about the first “a” in “Yucatan.” Copyright 2008 Carol Chapman

Yucatan is on the top 13 safest places in Mexico list. Published on the SmarterTravel.com website on March 23, 2018, the list includes a number of Yucatan destinations close to my heart. We’ve visited every one of these gorgeous destinations and can attest to having felt safe while there.

Safest Yucatan Destinations

Tulum, which includes some of the best beaches on the Riviera Maya and a seaside archeological site

Chichen Itza, the World Heritage site with the famous Pyramid of Kukulkan equinox event

Valladolid, a quiet colonial town within driving distance of Chichen Itza with a non-crowded cenote

Merida, the capital of the State of Yucatan, with great crafts shopping and colorful dance events

Campeche, on the Gulf of Mexico coast, a walled Old Town, with nighttime musical events
